What does that charge actually mean? That the Bible is not true? Are difficult passages evidence of something? If so what?
I agree there are many difficult passages to our modern sensibilities. But you seem to be saying that when a Christian quotes the Bible they should...what? quote OT passages rape laws just as often?...I don't know what you expect?
If the Bible is entirely true, what is the biblical justification for ignoring the parts YOU don't like ??
And if you're really imbued and overfilling with His spirit, why the resistance and defensiveness in regards to not embracing the totality of Holy Scripture ??
If you know better than God as to what is and is relevant in the Bible, what do we need God for, we can just follow you??
First, who's ignoring what? I didn't say anything remotely close to ignore. Second, who is defensive? Are you imagining another conversation??
